AMD Phenom™ II X6 Six-Core Processors

The backbone of the VISION Black technology platform, the new AMD Phenom™ II X6 six-core processors are the fastest CPUs AMD has ever created. The AMD Phenom™ II X6 six-core processors are also the world's only six-core processors for under $200*. At the heart of a VISION Black Technology platform, the AMD Phenom II X6 processor is the most advanced AMD desktop processor and features innovative AMD Turbo CORE technology to adjust to the dynamic needs of performance users.

New AMD Turbo CORE Technology

Both the AMD Phenom™ II X6 1055T and 1090T come equipped with AMD's new Turbo CORE technology. AMD Turbo CORE technology is a performance boosting technology that automatically switches from six cores to three turbocharged core for applications that just need raw speed over multiple cores. While in Turbo CORE mode, the AMD Phenom™ II X6 1090T shifts frequency speed from 3.2GHz on six cores, to 3.6GHz on three cores, making it the fastest processor AMD has ever created.

AMD Phenom™ II Triple and Quad-Core Processors

True quad-core and triple-core designed from the ground up for better communication between cores.

Benefit: Cores can communicate on die rather than on package for better performance

AMD64 with Direct Connect Architecture

Helps improve system performance and efficiency by directly connecting the processors, the memory controller, and the I/O to the CPU.

Silicon feature-set enhancements designed to improve the performance, reliability, and security of existing and future virtualization environments by allowing virtualized applications with direct and rapid access to their allocated memory.

Benefit: Helps virtualization software to run more securely and efficiently enabling a better experience when dealing with virtual systems

AMD PowerNow!™ Technology (Cool’n’Quiet™ Technology)

Enhanced power management features which automatically and instantaneously adjusts performance states and features based on processor performance requirements

Reduces processor energy consumption by turning off unused parts of the processor. For example, the memory controller can turn off the write logic when reading from memory, helping reduce system power.

Works automatically without the need for drivers or BIOS enablement.

Power can be switched on or off within a single clock cycle, saving energy with no impact to performance.

Benefit: Helps users get more efficient performance by dynamically activating or turning off parts of the processor.
